My Sister is Joining Etsy....Tokyo Mommy

Quilt she is working on

Cool crayon rolls for the kids!

So while I have been a busy lady in my studio getting ready for summer shows and filling store orders. My sister has started up a new blog and is joining the Etsy world with a fabric shop. Shannon is in Tokyo now and when she isn't busy with my two beautiful nephews she is scouring fabric stores and sewing fabulous things.
You can see more of her work and fabrics on her Flickr site.

Her blog Laughing Kookaburra is also up. But be sure to check out her new Etsy shop TokyoMommy for fabulous fabrics from Japan at great prices.
